Jalapeno Poppers
These cheesy, spicy treats are sure to be a hit at any party! With just the right amount of kick, they’ll bring a little fiesta to your taste buds.
### Ingredients:
- 10 fresh jalapeno peppers
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (because bacon makes everything better!)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (for that crispy goodness)
- Cooking spray (to keep things from sticking!)
Instructions:
- First things first, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). You want it nice and toasty for those poppers!
- Next, it’s time to prepare the jalapenos. Carefully slice each jalapeno in half lengthwise and remove the seeds (unless you’re feeling particularly adventurous!).
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix it well until everything is beautifully combined.
- Grab those jalapeno halves and fill each one generously with the cheesy mixture. Don’t be shy; pile it on!
- Once they’re all stuffed, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top of the filled jalapenos for that crispy topping.
- Arrange your poppers on a baking sheet and give them a light spray of cooking spray. This is what separates the amateurs from the pros!
- Pop those bad boys in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. The smell will drive you wild!
- Once they’re done, let them cool for a few minutes (if you can wait that long), then serve them up and watch as everyone devours them!
There you have it! A delicious, easy recipe for Jalapeno Poppers that is bound to add some zest to your next gathering. Enjoy the crunch, the spice, and of course, the cheesy goodness that makes every bite worthwhile!
